  1. Ms. Reyes

    Thanks for coming in, Mr. Dunn. Ava’s doing great.

  2. Mr. Dunn

    Then why am I here?

  3. Ms. Reyes

    Because of a story she wrote.

  4. Mr. Dunn

    Is it bad?

  5. Ms. Reyes

    It’s very good. It’s about her dad.

  6. Mr. Dunn

    What about her dad?

  7. Ms. Reyes

    That he’s a secret agent.

  8. Mr. Dunn

    I sell insurance.

  9. Ms. Reyes

    In the story, that’s his cover.

  10. Mr. Dunn

    Okay.

  11. Ms. Reyes

    In the story, he leaves very early and comes home very late, and he can’t talk about his missions. And the hardest part of being a secret agent is that he misses the school play.

  12. Mr. Dunn

    The play was Thursday.

  13. Ms. Reyes

    It was.

  14. Mr. Dunn

    I had a client in Dayton.

  15. Ms. Reyes

    I’m not here to make you feel bad. She’s not mad. Read the ending.

  16. Mr. Dunn

    “But on Saturdays, he’s just my dad, and that’s his best mission.” She spelled “mission” wrong.

  17. Ms. Reyes

    She did.

  18. Mr. Dunn

    Don’t fix it.
